Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

A ‘hidden’ young person is created when that person
drops out of the system, stops taking their benefits and
often ends up in the informal economy. This research
shows that care-leavers, the homeless, those with
poor mental health and ex-offenders are most likely to
find themselves in this situation. It shows that as an
alternative to the social security system, many young
people are opting for a life of temporary employment and
cash in hand work, with few (if any) legal protections and
exposure to crime.
